The problem is just when someone in the past said “you should join <forum x>!”, you were always able to just immediately go to forum x’s signup page and sign up. But if someone hears of Lemmy, and goes to join-lemmy.org, there is no way to go to a signup page directly.

People should probably stop saying “join Lemmy”, and instead link directly to the site/instance they suggest

User should create an account on one server

Mostly this. Some people might want a few accounts but those would be hardcore users.

the password/cookie should still work even when awaiting validation, password is set before the email is sent

maybe I’m misreading what you’re saying, but we already have this, works the same way as Reddit

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html

the Summit app does it too

Lemmy should have some sort of recommendation alhorithm.

https://quiblr.com/ is a Lemmy frontend that does this

Will Lemmy can become easy like Bluesky? Are there plans like that?

I’m not a Lemmy dev (well I’ve made a couple of small commits lol), but this type of question can be hard to answer from the inside of a project.

It would probably be easier to answer a question more like: “Do you plan to implement feature XYZ in order to be easier to use like Bluesky?”

the apps! the app support is really great for Lemmy

If a community is too specific then it won’t gain traction. I think definitely keep it as general as you can, like just a graphic design community (if there isn’t already one)

Yes the post belongs to the user and the user’s instance. The community basically just boosts/retweets the post.

It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out, if instances with downvoting disabled become popular

Personally I think downvoting is important, it’s like micro-moderation, in a democratic fashion. Sure it doesn’t always work out well, but it can be good for keeping spam and malicious posts at the bottom.

Very nice to see the fix for the spoiler bottom margin, I have been inserting line breaks after spoilers to alleviate that issue for quite some time.

I’ve used

(it’s just a bunch of hyphens that gets rendered as a line) and that works well

For UT https://github.com/dpjudas/SurrealEngine

yea dependencies seem like a real issue here, I don’t think Linux supports side-by-side versions like Windows does, Windows will just install every version of DirectX and libraries like that

that makes sense

Youtube import didn’t work for me, Twitch import works well though

The default Lemmy-UI (website), IDK about others

Yeah it depends on the app, they don’t all do it. Boost shows cross posts, but doesn’t merge them.

What app are you using? The regular Lemmy-UI already does this. In fact I have a feature request asking to be able to disable it…

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2934

the default appears to be StoreLinkPreviews in v0.19.8

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/0.19.8/crates/utils/src/settings/structs.rs#L85-L88

but in the main branch it’s ProxyAllImages, so I guess that’ll be for a future release
